One surprise was that some parts of the fusiform gyrus connect to a part of the brain called the cerebellar cortex, which is not thought to be part of the traditional vision-processing pathway.

FACES AND PLACES Researchers found changes in the brain tissue of children and adults in the fusiform gyrus, a facial recognition area shown in pink in this brain model. But the team didn’t see ...

A neuroimaging study of adults treated for ADHD with psychostimulants reported that these individuals show increased surface complexity in their brains. They displayed higher gyrification in the right ...

To find out, Dijkstra and her colleagues asked 26 people to carry out a visual task while their brain activity was recorded via MRI scans. The participants had to view a static grey block on a ...

In a study of more than 300 patients with prosopagnosia, the temporal and occipital lobes and connecting fusiform gyrus were key brain areas involved, reported Keith Josephs Jr., MD, MST, MSc, of ...

Her fusiform gyrus is smaller than normal—also not a surprise, since this region is involved in recognizing faces, a social skill that autism may disrupt. Every brain is different, especially where ...

Electrical stimulation of two closely-spaced areas in the fusiform gyrus region of the brain (mid and posterior fusiform ) causes a profound change in perception that is specific for the face ...
